We had breakfast here – good croissants and sandwiches! Except for the coffee 👎, which was only available from an electric coffee maker and in a paper cup – we only used that because all of our favorite tobacco bars were closed.

For a fairly long stretch, you can travel back and forth in the valley on the still-existing tracks on the Dreysene. The acacia shoots make the ride interesting for those sitting on the tree side, and there are plenty of views of the valley.

Caen, first mentioned in documents in 1027, experienced rapid urban development in the 11th century. It was called a burgus (bourg), was the centre of an extensive ducal domain, lay at the crossroads of important roads and had markets and a port. It first developed as an important city in the Duchy of Normandy under William the Conqueror. He had a strong fortress built in Caen and around 1059 an abbey for women (Abbaye aux dames) and one for men (Abbaye aux hommes), in which he was also buried. Later, during the Huguenot Wars (1562), his grave was destroyed and his bones were lost. William's gravestone can still be seen in the church today. He had the monasteries built to atone for his marriage to his cousin Mathilde, which was disapproved of by the Pope. Both monasteries are among the most important monuments in Normandy and are today – by the monks and nuns during the French Revolution

The former Benedictine abbey with the monastery church of Saint-Étienne was founded by William the Conqueror in Caen, built from 1060 onwards, but probably not completed until after 1090. From 1120/25 onwards, six-part cross-ribbed vaults were installed in the originally flat-roofed building, which are among the oldest in France.

Once Caen is behind you, you will find the Vélo Francette cycle route. Here it takes the greenway of Suisse Normande through beautiful natural landscapes along the Orne.
